Description:
Info
On HPE platforms configured with any of the HPE Broadcom-based network adapters listed in the Scope section below, there are network configurations where Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) needs to be disabled. LLDP is enabled by default for network adapters using the BNXT driver. The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) or Active/Standby bonding may not function correctly in certain environments that require LLDP frames containing Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) information to be forwarded to the network stack. To avoid this condition, the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) must be disabled for the network adapter. The feature for disabling the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) has been included in the Broadcom bnxtnvm utility. Examples of the command and options Note: The -dev= should match the device name where the config change is being performed. # bnxtnvm -dev=p3p1 setoption=lldp_nearest_bridge:0#0 # bnxtnvm -dev=p3p1 setoption=lldp_nearest_bridge:1#0 # bnxtnvm -dev=p3p1 setoption=lldp_nearest_non_tpmr_bridge:0#0 # bnxtnvm -dev=p3p1 setoption=lldp_nearest_non_tpmr_bridge:1#0 Note: The :0#0 and :1#0 are for each of the two interfaces of the network adapter. To check the LLDP configuration, execute the following commands: # bnxtnvm -dev=p3p1 getoption=lldp_nearest_non_tpmr_bridge:0 lldp_nearest_non_tpmr_bridge = Disabled # bnxtnvm -dev=p3p1 getoption=lldp_nearest_bridge:0 lldp_nearest_bridge = Disabled
